In just 81 games, Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw made history at Manchester City by scoring her 68th goal for the team, surpassing Georgia Stanway as the club’s highest scorer. The goal was scored in the second half of the match against Manchester United on Saturday afternoon. It felt appropriate for this milestone to happen in a derby, with over 40,000 fans at the Etihad Stadium, making it an extraordinary moment for a remarkable player. City manager Gareth Taylor expressed his amazement at how quickly she achieved this milestone. Bunny est un joueur comme aucun autre. She not only sets goals for us, but she also serves as a central figure and gives her all for the team. Since arriving from France, she has shown significant improvement in her game. Additionally, consider how Man City may set up against Arsenal in the absence of Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish. Man City have a plan in place to replace Kyle Walker for the match against Arsenal. Working with her is a pleasure due to her strong work ethic, integrity, teamwork skills, and the significance of her goals to our success. Shaw’s objectives have contributed to City’s rise to second place in the Women’s Super League (WSL), tied with Chelsea at the top of the table with just five games left. If the 27-year-old can lead the team to their first title in eight years this season, following her arrival on a free transfer from Bordeaux in July 2021, she will be remembered as one of the most successful signings in the club’s history. “I joined this club because I wanted to be a part of the atmosphere, the culture, and to play for this incredible team,” Shaw commented after switching to the Joie Stadium.
